relay around each body

[Ad Bot]

[Remurr]

does anybody have any tips for constructing relay networks

geostationary orbits

[HellHound]

goodness, designing asymmetrical aircraft is really hard. it just gets worse the bigger the plane is.

geostationary orbits

I hear molnyia orbits work too

[Verification]

dont construct that stuff. be a man and launch giant fuel canisters near jool and have them be affected by jool's gravity and the orbits of its moons so it gets loving launched near the planet you want to go to, and then have them loving crashland on the surface... but put a parachute there. then safely dock your spacecraft to them.

Oh boy.
So should I install ksp on my laptop for school work? Here are specs:
Processor: Intel i3 7th Gen (i3-7100) @2.40 GHz
Ram: 6gb of DDR3
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 620

will be ok for small ships but that cpu is really not good

I bulk launch my satellites on one rocket so as to avoid 4 different launches

Scott Manley has some good tutorials on the game. Once you get the basics of orbital mechanics the game isn't too hard. Mechjeb can help with learning too; you can watch the way the autopilot works and mimic it.

< spend hours setting up rendezvous with fuel station
< finally successfully dock
< realize you put your Clamp-o-tron Sr. on backwards

yeah i've begun watching his vids, thanks for the tip :D

How do I put a rover on a planet if anything that's not a perfectly straight cylinder with maybe some perfectly symmetric cylinders off the side is guaranteed to turn my spaceship into a gravitation ride?

Either balance the stuff out of your space ship, or lots and lots of reaction wheels/retro rockets.
